One Big Table Data Modeling

was it all for naught?

Oh boy, have I been lied to my entire life? Should I finally give up and move to that cabin in the woods? The life of a Data Engineer, one thing to the next.

I was born again as a Kimball monk, baptised into Medallion Architecture, and will be burned as a heretic for One Big Table (OBT) theology?

What's new?

I, for one, have mostly ignored the rumblings of OBT design from various corners of the internet. But with the death of data modeling and the rise of the Lake House, it seems that previous prejudices and technological barriers have fallen away, opening the door for OBT.

Welp, based on how old this question is, we can probably answer it now. (OBT always seems to be a fringe discussion)
